HC Deb 25 April 2001 vol 367 cc297-8W
8. Mr. Blunt

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what the budget is for EU and UK development assistance to Egypt for(a) 2000, (b) 2001 and (c) 2002. [157650]

Mr. Mullin

Our budget for bilateral assistance to Egypt was £4 million in 2000–01 and is set to remain at this level in 2001–02 and 2002–03.

Assistance by the European Commission to Egypt was approximately £93 million in 1999, of which the UK contribution was £16.5 million, which is the latest year for which figures are available. Budget allocations for 2001 and 2002 have yet to be agreed.

Forward to
